Beautiful calligraphy demands smooth, dense paper that holds ink without bleeding or buckling. Although many beginners start on watercolor paper, offering authentic calligraphy paper elevates the activity and boosts confidence.
We offer the following two premium options, suitable for various projects that will encourage budding calligraphers to take their craft to new heights:
Calligraphy Parchment: These sheets of antique gold 90-100 gsm calligraphy paper offer the ideal surface for fine hand lettering with pens, inks and markers to glide across. Our calligraphy paper is available in two popular sizes and is perfect for a variety of creative projects.
Speedball Mulberry Paper: This handmade paper takes elegance to the next level. Created from mulberry fibers, our Speedball mulberry paper has a unique composition and a lightly textured surface. Its exceptional ink retention makes it perfect for intricate lettering, resulting in bold, crisp and vibrant calligraphy.
Calligraphy is more than writing neatly. It is an art form that takes years of practice to perfect, and the quality of work often depends on the quality of the pen and paper used to create the opulent, flowing lettering. No matter how much innate talent an individual has, their steady hand and craft are honed on vast amounts of paper for practicing calligraphy.
Encouraging students to refine their calligraphy skills on paper that spiderwebs their ink or catches their pen nibs as they practice would cause frustration, and they may even lose interest. Providing specialized calligraphy paper that allows the formation of bold letters with crisp edges reinforces their enjoyment of the craft and serves as motivation to keep practicing. The art of calligraphy instills life skills of focus, attention to detail and perseverance, and providing the best quality paper from the start can have a lifelong impact.
If you thought calligraphy was just about creating fancy writing with few real-life applications, think again! From hand-lettered quotes to adorn your classroom to intricate gift tags that students can attach to Mother's Day gifts, beautiful calligraphy offers a range of project possibilities.
Encourage your students to think outside the box and create delightful calligraphy pieces that will be treasured for a lifetime. Some ideas include:
Detailed family trees
Place cards at formal celebrations
Scrapbooking inserts
Personalized birthday cards
Intricate drawings that incorporate calligraphy
